Years ago I made a replacement washer fluid bottle that had a tube through it as a heat exchanger. I diverted the heater water through that tube so the bottle contents were heated and I cleared the screen with hot water. It worked, sort of, but even hot water on the screen freezes quickly in very cold conditions. I have not bothered repeating this on later cars.

One thing I was worried about was the windscreen glass cracking when I sprayed hot water on it in cold weather, but that never happened.
